Explore EXODUS, a new sci-fi action-adventure RPG coming soon from Archetype Entertainment featured in this epic novel from legendary author Peter F. Hamilton.
A fight for freedom among the stars . . .
In a past age, humanity fled a dying Earth in massive ark ships. These searched the galaxy to find a new home. Then one fleet found Centauri, a dense cluster of stars teeming with habitable planets. Now, thousands of years later, Centauri’s settlers have evolved into advanced beings known as Celestials – and their great houses rule vast star systems.
As they vie for supremacy, Earth’s ark ships continue to arrive, and humans must serve these repressive masters. But is there a better life beyond the empire? Finn is a Centauri-born human and yearns for a brighter future. So, when another ark ship arrives, previously thought lost, Finn seizes the chance to become a Traveler. These heroes explore the vast unknowns of distant space, dedicated to humanity’s survival. And they hope – one day – to find freedom.
EXODUS is an action-adventure roleplaying game from Archetype Entertainment, led by industry veterans from BioWare (Mass Effect), 343 (Halo), Electronic Arts, Naughty Dog (The Last of Us) and other AAA studios.
Exodus: The Archimedes Engine is the first book in a duology by legendary author Peter F. Hamilton. It’s an original novel set in the universe of EXODUS and explores Hamilton’s richly-imagined worlds.

Names are a little out there, but we are 40000 years in the future
It's an amazing slow burn space opera, the narration initially put me to sleep but it grows on you. Definitely waiting on the next book.

Another masterpiece
Peter F Hamilton managers to do it to me every time. I start one of his books I start out by thinking I’m not gonna like this and end up by thinking it’s the best book I’ve had for a long time. This book is no different absolutely stunning. with a sublime narration.

It's been a while
I've not read any of Peter F. Hamilton's recent books so thought I'd give this audio book a try. It was hard to get into but I was really enjoying it by the end. So much so I immediately listened to it again to pick up on the nuances I had missed the first time around. I then went on to listen to the Trilogy which this was born from, which although not at good, nether the less was a fun listen.

What a great new universe from Peter F. Hamilton
I've always enjoyed P.F Hamiltons books, especially his earlier work, but this has so many new ideas and world building. This is a sci-fi drama is a masterpeice, and lengthy enough to cgallange anything Peter has written before.
Well enjoyed.

Super creative
Mr. Hamilton brings to life a gloriously creative future of fantastic scale. The setting is unique compared to his other work, but carries his signature slow burn political machinations and pitting pawns into positions, and then it just ramps up and up and up.
The setting is remarkably creative, a joyous wonder to jump in along with the protagonists to explore one incredibly scenery after another. I can’t wait for the sequel(s).

Classic Hamilton and excellent narration
Hamilton back to what he does best: in depth and imaginative world building, intricate multi-layered narrative and a tension ratcheting plot. The narrator is excellent, each character is distinct, the intonation expressive whilst not over the top and and the diction is clear.
